Pretty cups + yummy cake

I was a very lucky winner in a recent giveaway over at A Room for Everyone.

For my prize I was allowed to choose any item from Rachael's newly opened store, Gidgi.

There were so many lovely things to choose from, but I settled on a pretty latte cup.

Isn't it gorgeous?

Being the sweet, generous person that she is, Rachael very generously sent me two cups to enjoy.

Very spoilt!

I have been going to photograph them for ages, but finally got my act together yesterday when I made myself a cuppa to enjoy with a piece of home baked Hummingbird Cake. Yum. It's positively healthy with all that fruit (or so I tell myself). I even used a bit of wholemeal flour to add a bit extra roughage :)

Lovely! I encourage you all to pop over and check out Rachael's store.

Bread baking

I baked bread the other day and have to say I'm rather impressed with my efforts. I used a Laucke packet mix from Coles Supermarket. All I had to do was mix in yeast to the flour mix, add in water, knead like heck, wait patiently, knead a little more and bake!

Look how professional it looks! This is a German Grain bread and I added some sunflower seeds to the top.

Have you had much success with bread? Mine often tastes a little like scones, not that that's a bad thing :)

Yummy!
